Play of the Day: How to Write Donald Trump's Briefing Documents

The president needs a certain writing style.

The New York Times recently reported that President Donald Trump called James Comey a "nut job" to Russian officials before firing the former FBI chief. Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost joked that maybe Trump's inner circle has shaded his view of what's crazy and what's normal. After all, Comey has only been married once and owns zero helicopters.

A National Security Council official recently told Reuters that memos for Trump have to include his name in "as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned." Late Show's Stephen Colbert joked that the only way around Trump's attention span is his narcissism, while Last Week Tonight's John Oliver created a mock memo with Trump's name in it quite a bit.
